Morning. Insanely beautiful day here. At 8am it was already 19C. That's 66F.

Had plans to go out to eat at a patio but my friend bailed on me. Might still go out to eat alone - I'd rather be outside and don't want to get stuck sitting with people in the kitchen I'd rather not...

so today i got my most recent bill for my cable, internet and landline service and for the 3rd month ina row the provider ( verizon ) increased the bill, by doctoring the fees, they refuse to honor the bundle deal i agreed to, i pay the bill in full way ahead of when it's due, and they basically said " piss off "

so when i call in they again refuse to do anything, i tell them that they need to realize newton's 2nd law ( for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction ) and i proceed to file complaints with the better business bureau as well as the federal communications commission ( governemnt oversight of service providers ) and this morning at 4 am i attempt to log onto the net.....

apparently they must have been monitoring what sites i was going to and saw i went to the aforementioned, and reset my anti - virus password and i am unable to access the internet, so what to do ? send a follow up letter ( via fax ) to the 2 agencies i mentioned earlier, and here in the states that's illegal on many counts, so i'll be off line until sometime monday when their american staff is open again, i just remember " don't get mad, get even "

IIRC (I could be wrong and this was for a different zeroth law), they call it the zeroth law, because they wanted to put it in the first order of priority. but, they couldn't call it the first law because it was not discovered first, and it's been longtime accepted, and in a habit of labelling the way it was, the first law IS the first law. so, they called it the zeroth law, without reordering the other laws, which would have caused more confusion than it already is.
